Interview of Rakesh Singh Regional Finance Leader – India
Finance Head, the number crunching sensation at office. What is he like in personal life?
Let’s know our math marvel more closely!

Tell us something about your family.
Like most citizens in India I live in a joint family and enjoy the perks of spending quality time with my parents as well as my children. My father worked as an Executive Engineers with Central Public Works Department till 1994. My mother is a home maker and has been the backbone of our family since the time I can remember. She is the most active member in the house. My wife ia a Qualified MCA, she is a home maker now and takes care of my family very well. She is my support system at home front.
What future do you envision for your children?
Everyone follows their own destiny, I will give me children the freedom to follow their path. As a father I want to see them successful and well settled. As a citizen of India I envision my children to do the country proud and have a good values system.
What do you like to do in free time?
Like a true blue Indian I love Cinema and in my free time I like to watch movies with my kids. If alone, which is rarely possible in a big household I tend to work on improvement areas in balance sheet and do some number crunching.
Tell us something about your vision, where do you see yourself in 2022.
I foresee myself working with a larger team and handling more voluminous business transactions at Dentsply Sirona. Also, I aim to make the organisation IT friendly since most of our operations are manual at the moment.
Since the time you are working for the company, how do you maintain personal and professional life balance?
Lately, over the last 1 year or so the work life balance has tilted in favour of work due to many reasons like new Hyperion Reporting System Implementation, Global Product Hierarchy Project, new reporting requirements due to Dentsply Sirona Merger and many more things. As things settle down, hope to correct this in 2017. I aim to work towards personal wellbeing and physical fitness.
One change you would like to bring in the current working style that can improve your work pattern and increase productivity?
Since integration it has become vital to engage teams from both entities before establishing ne norms and financial goals. It has become equally important to communicate with other functions in order to derive optimal business strategy for future business. In future I would want to review more frequently what and how the processes function, what are the challenges the teams are facing. What would be the solutions and implement those solutions.
On a personal level I would like to improve my physical wellbeing which will help me manage stress in healthier ways.
